Thank you chemisttree; your response was most lucid.
Do you have any tips on how to increase yield in this experiment, or in orgo lab in general? I am often unable to remove all of the product from my flask during vacuum filtration, for instance.
Yes, water is a product, so the reaction is going to shift *left*, toward the reactants, which *lowers* the yield.
Can someone please post what the extraction order should be?
I have worked through the problem and spent quite a bit of time on it but am not extremely confident in my solution. I would just like someone to check my work. Cheers.
Homework Statement
-Need 0.4 L of an aqueous buffer solution of pH=6.7
-Have access to 0.02 M HCl, 0.02 M NaOH, 0.01 M...
Thanks for your help. This is what I have done so far, but it is still wrong.
ln[(PPH3)t / (PPH3)o] = -kt
Ptotal = PPH3 + PP4 + PH2
PPH3 = Po - PP4
PH2 = 6PP4
Ptotal = (Po - PP4) + 6PP4 + PP4
Ptotal= Po + 6PP4
PP4 = (Ptotal - Po) / 6
PPH3 = Po -PP4 = Po - [(Ptotal-Po) / 6]...

The kinetics of the decomposition of phosphine at 950 K
4PH3 (g) -> P4 (g) + 6H2 (g)
was studied by injecting PH3(g) into a reaction vessel and measuring the total pressure at constant volume.
